A glimmer of hope
crushed in an instant of fate
A smile turned to
a quivering line
Eyes once radiant
with joy
Now struggling to see
through a curtain of water
Unwillingly traded high hopes for
despair so deep
drowning in sorrow
afraid of what tomorrow
might bring
In a peaceful moment
the sun shines on your face
Bathing it in light
your mouth twitches
and I remember
The way you used to be
